Abstract:
802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) has been standardized by the IEEE as
the next step in the evolution of the various spanning tree and registration protocols.
802.1aq allows for true shortest path forwarding in a mesh Ethernet network context utilizing
multiple equal cost paths. This permits it to support much larger Layer 2 topologies,
with faster convergence, and vastly improved use of the mesh topology. Combined with this
is single point provisioning for logical connectivity membership, which includes
point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint variations. This memo documents the IS-IS changes required
to support this IEEE protocol and provides some context and examples. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
